About Yakuza Kiwami

About this game

Kazuma Kiryu takes the fall for a murder and emerges from prison 10 years later to yakuza clans on the brink of a war that hurtles you on an intense journey of love, humanity, and betrayal, fueled by your fists and unyielding resolve, set against a bustling red-light district in modern-day Japan.

■ UNLEASH FOUR FIGHTING STYLES

Dynamically switch between four fighting styles (brutal "Brawler", speedy "Rush", overpowering "Beast", legendary "Dragon"), while utilizing makeshift weapons scattered around the streets to takedown hordes of enemies in realistic fights that are exhilarating and fun for anyone to pick up and play.

■ IMMERSE YOURSELF IN JAPAN

After breaking some faces, take a break from the main story to enjoy the immersive nightlife activities scattered throughout the city of Kamurocho, like karaoke, the casino, cabaret club, arcade, batting cages and more as you encounter colorful characters from all walks of life.

*Yakuza Kiwami is a version of Yakuza Kiwami (Legacy) with additional text languages included. There are no differences in the basic game content or specifications.

"After all these years, Yakuza Kiwami shows that it can work splendidly even on the PC platform. Still one of the best games in this series, with its rich story, intriguing...

"In spite of an old game engine, the Yakuza Kiwami remake adds a lot of exclusive content, well-included into the huge playground of Kamurocho."

GameWatcher

85 / 100
"The best way to treat Kiwami is like the 2nd season of a show. It might reuse animations or games, but the budget saved from that allows for a greater focus on the new stuff....

A great way to get started with Yakuza/Like a Dragon

Yakuza Kiwami is an excellent entry point into the Like a Dragon franchise for those who might find 0 too large or daunting. All of the series trappings are here, with a compelling story inspired by japanese TV dramas you've never heard of and told in well directed cutscenes, a slew of engaging (and some not so engaging) mini games, and subquests that range from poignant to humorous in tone. It all lands, even if only the narrative is stand-out on its own.

Came into this game looking for a serious Japan mob based drama but ended up getting the most entertaining game I've played in a long while. Can't wait to play the rest of the series now after this game!

Pretty good game. I have very fond memories of the original Yakuza for PS2, and this rerelease hits in all the right spots. Very inmersive, and a good way to spend endless hours beating on people on the streets of Japan.

I absolutely LOVE this game (as well as the rest of the series). The gameplay is tight, the story is deep, yet quirky, and undeniably Japanese. It is a bit shorter in terms of overall content than the rest of the series, and notably shorter than Kiwami 2, but still more than worth the price of admission (though if you're a storyline purist you might want to start with 0 first)
